Recipe FAQs

Can I use leftover chicken instead of turkey?

Yes, leftover chicken works well as a substitute, providing a similar texture and absorbing the buffalo sauce flavors nicely.

How do I ensure the wraps get crispy in the air fryer?

Lightly spray the outside of wraps with olive oil and arrange them seam-side down in the air fryer to achieve a golden, crisp exterior.

Is it possible to make these wraps gluten-free?

Absolutely, using gluten-free tortillas will make the wraps suitable for gluten-sensitive diets without compromising taste.

What vegetables are recommended for added crunch?

Shredded iceberg lettuce, julienned carrots, celery slices, and thinly sliced red onion add fresh crunch and balance to the spicy filling.

Can I add other sauces or toppings?

Yes, additional buffalo sauce for dipping or creamy ranch dressing can enhance flavor, and avocado slices add extra creaminess.
